I'm prob the only person that thinks 4 and 8 is too much.....kid would want to be dangerfield cross sloane cross Harvey in prime cross buddy in prime in a year or so
If jelly were to nominate us, the best and final price we offer gws isn't decided ENTIRELY on previous trades.
It's a case of things arent worth what they cost...they are worth what you are willing to pay.
I think the treloar deal is a reasonable apples and apples situation with jelly, although jelly has shown higher potential than treloar at his age... so he's worth a bit more.
So start with the treloar value (2 firsts with a 2nd back) and add:
*pies weren't AS desperate for treloar as we are for jelly (they had sidey pendles swan(?) etc).
Gws can and will use our desperation to fill our grand canyon midfield hole against us.
*pies had treloar sewn up pretty well, didnt have massive legit competition.
If we try and play real hardball with gws; dragging out the trade, norf will be right there to tell kelly THEY can get a deal done... change your nomination... like what nearly happened with jake and hawks.
*lack of other options in the marketplace currently or next year. It's basically dusty, jelly or bust for us at the moment. It will be considered a big failure for us if we can't spend the enormous cap space we have cleared.
Sure 2 young guns is a good long term fallback- but we're trying to win a flag in the next few years.
If/when dusty and fyfe re-sign- gws get a stronger bargaining position if jelly wants out.
2 firsts IS overs.
But acceptable overs.
Especially when you remember if it is say pick 4 and 8... we have only SPENT picks 10 and 8 on him, plus chuck in battle and long for free.
